#184021 - Never click anything!
Responding to: ???'s previous message

I have heard, and follow, that if you click 'close' on a pop-up you may be asking for trouble

Never click anything within a pop-up window!

The button can say anything on its face - but that has absolutely no connection whatsoever to what it will actually do!

Similarly, the visible text of a link can say anything - but that has absolutely no connection whatsoever to what it will actually do!

Just because this text says Keil website is absoultely no guarantee whatsoever that it will actually take you to the Keil website - try it...

Even if the text says http://www.keil.com that's not the actual link - again, try it!

however clicking the 'X' in the topright corner is safe

Only if it is the actual MS Windows control button. Much better to close it from the Taskbar.

Or just ensure that you keep pop-ups disabled.

am a bit curious if this is right

See above!
